Supreme Court of Colorado
Broomfield v. Farmers Reservoir and Irr.
June 28, 2010235 P.3d 296
Summary
The court affirmed the water court’s determination that Broomfield’s proposed change in water-right use would not injure other water rights. It held that the water court properly treated FRICO’s post-trial tables and calculations as new evidence and properly relied on the trial record, which sufficiently supported its factual findings. The court declined to review the water court’s ruling concerning accretions to a net-losing ditch because FRICO sought affirmance rather than reversal or correction and therefore was not an aggrieved party.
